It's human nature to help your friends. And if there are still some benefits in the process of helping, then there is no reason to refuse.

For Newsar now, stabilizing food prices is a top priority in everything we do. If people don't have a stable expectation of the future, then they can't have any serious work to create a better tomorrow.

If a family can't even eat enough, who can work with peace of mind?

At the national level, rationing has been in place for about eight months in order to reduce the pressure on the food supply. Ordinary residents use their work points to exchange wheat flour, cooking oil and other necessities from the shops on their streets. Meat products and other non-staple foods can be purchased in monetary terms in addition to work credits.

But as an individual, living on work points alone is clearly not a way of life acceptable to freedmen and "aristocrats". The freedmen needed some additional avenues to satisfy their needs for a "better life", and the nobles ...... Those who were once nobles needed a way to live decently.

They occupy a large number of the means of production, but at the same time ...... Not all aristocrats have mastered the skills to make a living.

There are three main categories of nobles, one of which is to wait for food and death, relying on their family's property and the continuous supply of money provided by the Privy Council. This is the least harmful of all the aristocratic types to the country as a whole - they need to spend a lot of money to ensure a "decent life", and some of this cost will always go back into the social cycle.

The second type of aristocracy is the one who has money and desperately collects money, but never spends money. Not only do they make money like the first class, but they even impose all kinds of harsh taxes on their own subjects. They are considered to be a category that has caused greater damage to society.

The third group is the most dangerous, they use various means to try to make themselves and their families further in the aristocratic circle. If you don't settle for the status quo, you need to change.

And change costs money.

They have to pay for their actions to change the status quo.

In short, the nobility was almost completely of no benefit to the commoners, and they also became a great burden for the lords. And now, the aristocracy has become a burden to Dussand.

Newsal still has not made any "decisions" about the survival of the nobility. Although even the Privy Council, which served the nobility and was governed by the nobles, had been completely abolished by Dussand, for the sake of relative social stability, Dussaint still did not dare to directly announce the decision to "abolish all noble titles and privileges".

The aristocracy has too many means of production at their disposal, and according to Escobar's statistical budget, the nobles of all Newsar own more than 80% of the factories on the planet, they hold a large number of invention patents and strategic materials, and more importantly, many of them have "unique" factories.

The "uniqueness" here refers specifically to the difference in the professional division of labor in these factories. Industrial production is an increasingly refined and segmented field. Many of the factories owned by the aristocracy had their own specialized fields, and in this field they basically achieved the level of "no one can replace them".

One of the reasons Dussand's hesitation is due to the dominance of these factories in their field. If I completely tear my face with the nobles and make them realize the reality that "even if I don't do it, the Balford boys won't make me feel better...... There is a high chance that these factories will be burned to the ground overnight.

Now, with the El Party battering one after another, and with the Olin Development Bank making successive gains in the field of economic warfare, Dussart is convinced that it is time to clean up these "unexploded bombs" for Newsar's industrial sector.

"Starting today, a total limit on private purchases of meat will be imposed." At today's Newsard Economic Conference, Dussaint announced his plans to "privately purchase meat, dairy products and other kinds of improved foods; All alcoholic beverages will need to be credited with additional work points at the original price level. However, users of special vouchers do not need to pay points. ”

"What is this special voucher?" Escobar quickly caught a "loophole" in Dussand's arrangement, and he quickly flipped through his memo, "Have we issued this kind of thing before?" ”

"No, so it's going to be issued." Dussart explained his intentions to his good helpers, "The nobles of Newsar have in their hands a great deal of real estate, factories, and other resources. Leaving these resources in their hands would only result in serious waste – and possibly even pose a threat to Nussar's industrial production. ”

"We've got everything we need to go." "As long as you give the order, Aika can arrest all the nobles within two days. ”

"I trust your ability to do your job, but agents should be working somewhere else." Dussaint shook his head and said, "In the economic field, don't rely too much on Aika's ability to deal with it - this will lead to a lot of very troublesome sequelae. There is no need to physically eliminate the aristocracy, and a more moderate approach will help our society to smooth out the transition. ”

Escobar thought for a moment and asked, "By more gentle means, do you mean this special voucher?" ”

Extreme Soul Chaos

Dussaint nodded, his idea had been born for a long time. But can it be applied to Newsar, can it have the effect he wants...... Not necessarily.

He needed an assessment from Ms. Escobar and Ms. Tamara.

"My purpose is very simple, to attack the nobles who enjoy life first." "First of all, we set barriers to buying improved foods and other enjoyable goods. Then, redeem the assets in the hands of these nobles - either in cash or with special vouchers. ”

In Dussand's vision, there are two ways to redeem this. Choosing to sell assets through gold pounds can even tie on the promise of "smuggling to any colony of the Empire". If the other party chooses to sell the asset with a "special exchange voucher", it will at least mean that the factory can be taken at a very low cost.

This kind of operation is relatively acceptable to the nobles, and Newsal himself does not suffer.

Of course, it doesn't hurt if they don't sell. Rather, there must be some people who are not willing to accept Dussand's terms. A group that originally had common interests,

As time goes by, these aristocrats, who care about their quality of life, will always find a way to make some changes - they are not afraid that you will move, they are afraid that you will not move. As long as there is action, there will inevitably be loopholes and weaknesses.

After that, the elimination of the nobility directly physically, politically and legally, the impact on Newsal society could be minimized.

"That's a good idea, but there may be some things that need to be dealt with a little bit in practice...... Escobar and Lady Tamara discussed it for a while, and then said to Dussander with a wicked smile on his face, "For example, our method of making a public decision can be a little ...... Change it. ”

The nobles of Newsar were actively gathering for the past two days, and they were still trying to arrange a drinking party, even though it was becoming more and more difficult to buy food in line with their decent status.

The more times like this, the more important it is for the nobles to meet more often and inform each other of various information. For example, this time, through some special channels, they found out in advance that the little bastard of the Belford family wanted to do something to them.

The so-called "when you enter the mansion, you must first bow your head to the owner of the mansion", and now the Newsal family has the final say, and many nobles, although they are not very happy at first, still maintain their cooperation and respect.

As for colluding with the El Party in private...... What qualified nobleman would pin all the hopes of his family on one force? Left and right, this is the basic quality of all aristocratic families.

After learning that Dusaud was ready to do something to the remaining nobles, almost all of them quickly began to feel a huge pressure to survive. At first, they hoped to solve the problem through "communication" between nobles, but after sending Dussander several invitations to the reception without receiving a response...... The aristocrats began to get nervous.

The El Party was the main force in opposition to Dussart in the whole of Newsar, and they were now so entrained by mass quarantine censorship that they had little room to survive. Even if you support the Al-Ers, not to mention how much money you have to invest, you may even get into trouble after investing.

Without an organization capable of fighting Dussand, the nobles had to find other ways to fight Dussand. And the nobles were most highly regarded by the busy man who was now Newsal, the most trusted assistant to the devil of the Belford family, Lord Escobar from Orin, and Lieutenant General Horn, vice chairman of the Nyusar Military Council.

These two noble gentlemen were the most popular guests in the social circle of the nobility of Newsal. At the same time, they were also the main channel for the nobles of Newsar to find out about the devil of the Belford family.

Lieutenant General Horn likes to drink alone at the bar and is not very willing to socialize with the nobles. But Lord Escobar, who had lost a lot of weight lately, was very talkative—he even took the initiative to talk to the nobles, and complained to them about how much trouble Dussand had caused to himself by his recent whims.

The news that Dussaint was preparing to make a move on the nobles came from Lord Escobar, and this news was confirmed by Lieutenant General Horn. Rather than socializing, Vice Admiral Horn uncharacteristically made a promise to many of the nobles that if the nobles intended to flee outright, he could arrange for the navy to set aside a few routes.

After the news was released, Lord Escobar and His Excellency Lieutenant General did not attend the reception for several days. Just as the nobles were debating whether to start a rebellion with Dussander once and for all, Mr. Lord reappeared.

Although he had big dark circles under his eyes, Lord Escobar couldn't hide his smug expression. He announced to the many nobles that he had found a special "escape channel" for everyone.

According to Lord Escobar, the little devil of the Belford family gave him a very important task - to establish a number of "state-owned enterprises" for Newsal.

These SOEs must be fully owned by the Government of Newsal and will be run by professionals appointed by the Home Affairs Committee. SOEs will not operate for the fundamental purpose of making a profit, they exist to allow Newsal to have a safe industrial sector that is not affected by other factors.

"I slapped the table with that little bastard!" Lord Escobar blushed and exclaimed, "This little bastard of the Belford family...... He wanted me to do all the work in a month, and then conjure up hundreds of bullshit state-owned enterprises for him, and I told him right then, yes, I slapped the table, pointed at his nose and said - fuck you. ”

When the other nobles heard this, they burst into a very hearty laugh.

Anyway, I scolded him, but I couldn't completely change the order. You know, the Belford mongrels are as smelly and hard as stones in a septic tank. Escobar sighed, then said, "But I managed to get a license from now on, and from now on, I can do this directly by acquiring existing businesses." ”

He put down his drained glass, motioned for the bartender to fill it up, and then continued in a boastful tone, "Of course, I have not forgotten you, my noble friends. I know you all have at least thirty or fifty thousand gold pounds in cash...... But as you've seen now, all items require work credits to purchase. ”

Escobar's words drew echo from everyone, and this purchase restriction did make all the nobles very unhappy.

"So, I figured something out - you know, those damn poor devils don't have any money...... Nor is there the ability to appreciate the rich aroma of the Leg. These goods will continue to enter Newsal, and they will need to find a mouth to taste themselves. Escobar joked, then said, "I have some spots on hand...... Not a lot, but there are indeed some places that can be used to buy factories in place of gold pounds with special vouchers. ”

"If you have a factory ready to sell, I can arrange it in advance." Escobar smiled rather mysteriously, "For the sake of our friendship, I promise you that you'll get enough special voucher purchases. This will be the only way in the future where Newsal will be able to purchase all merchandise without the need for work credits. ”
